No matter the reason you've found this post, I'm glad you're here! I spent some time thinking over this past Resurrection Sunday about how I can grow closer to God on a daily basis once again - something I've been struggling with. I've missed His presence in my head during the day...stay tuned for a new post soon about how to incorporate Christian music into your day - my go-to method of worship. Thinking about what would help me, and what I would actually use, I developed these printables for a bible notebook of my own. I simply printed these off and glued them into a lined notebook I had on hand. Plus, the black-and-white lends itself nicely to any color additions you may decide to add, depending on your day! Update: I now keep my printouts in a 1/2 inch binder that I can write in. Much less bulky and time consuming than gluing each page on. I typically take notes during a sermon in a separate notebook (that looks like a chicken scratched in it) and like to reorganize my thoughts into the sermon printable, organizing key themes with supporting scripture. It's also a way to pull out themes from that Sunday to apply to your week. The bible study printable was developed for book & chapter study. I like to devote an evening to this on Wednesdays, and dive in. Do you ever get some of the people mixed up when reading His Word? It can happen, both in the Old and the New Testament. And don't get me started on lineages! Work it out on paper, instead of chasing your tail in your head, and try the character analysis printable where you dive deeper into one character. I encourage you to utilize any other books you may have or online resources to direct you to additional books they may show up in. Alternatively, you could keep these pages as a "running list" and when you run across this character in the Book, jot down that scripture. Once you have enough, you can start to look it over and ask "What was this person like?" and "What can I learn from them?" and "What is God teaching me through them?". On a similar page, and especially in the Old Testament, it's nice to have a historical background on many of the stories that happen. My pastor often prefaces sermons based on Old Testament scripture with a summary of what was going on at the time because context can help us understand so much more than we would've before. The biblical historical analysis printable is for just that - track Moses' life, track Adam and Eve through the Garden, track the days leading up to Jesus Christ's death on the cross. The topic analysis printable is a running list for you to keep. When you are doing bible study or sermon notes, and there was a theme of pride, forgiveness, trust, etc. start a topic page and add scripture to it. Review it periodically, and/or when you feel like it applies to you or someone close to you. Keep track of these pages on the Table of Contents page. And now to my favorite: the daily reflection printable. This is what started me making all of these because it was truly what I needed to come full circle and see God again. It makes me summarize my day in a small box, and from there I am thinking about all the positives, and what I can work on - looking for the joy in life, looking for where I can practice patience, and apply my prayer requests from the night before. And it ends your day on this positivity, right before you lay down to sleep. Then for scripture & thoughts, I let my Bible fall open on its own, and my eyes choose a chapter, and from there, I read a small section (4-5 verses, those that are grouped). The verses that stand out to me most, I wrote down/summarize, and then pen my thoughts. And lastly, prayer requests, to keep you thinking of others. Love God, love people! Blessings,

I have not created any free printables myself or designed any unique organizational systems. All ideas posted here link back to the original site. Links can be found by clicking most images as well as the hyperlinks in the post.
Here's a sneak peak of just eight of the thirty one printables she has available for you to download. (Click to go!)
If you're thinking..."Cool printables. But I want to know HOW TO MAKE an organized home binder." Well do I have some sweet treats for you!
Here's a quick summary of what you'll find. For a break-down of specific printables she includes in each subcategory, visit her page!
Phew. That's all I got today. Interested in seeing something more? Something specific? Do you have a management binder? Leave your link in the comments!
Blessings, Did you make a New Years Resolution to get in better shape? Was it to "lose weight"? Did you make the choice to lose inches, gain muscle, and get stronger? Do you just want to feel better? Are you still doing well on that promise to yourself, or is it becoming more difficult? Either way, finding a way to keep yourself accountable is a key step to success. Maybe you saw my January Fitness Calendar post and are ready to keep it going for February. I keep my specific workouts in a graph notebook at the gym, where I write one weeks workouts out on one page, and I love seeing everything at a glance. I've used calendars in the past, especially when I was big on running and doing abs. Keep this calendar somewhere easy to find and to see - you'll find yourself wanting to write something down! Maybe its doing abs before bed, because you didn't "have time" to do anything else that day. Then at the end of the month, step back in pride at all that you've accomplished. Features:

Do you have a New Years Resolution to get in better shape? Lose some inches? Be stronger? Feel better? One method that I've used in the past that worked to help me maintain consistency was to log my work on a calendar. I keep my specific workouts in a small book that I carry at the gym, but this calendar stays at home in my room, in an easy to reach place, where I simply write "Weights", "xx min. Run", "Abs" etc. As you look back over the month, you can see how often you exercised. And you'll find yourself wanting to write something down, so you better get workin! My goal for you is to stretch, lift weights, and break a sweat to maximize your metabolism. It's becoming more well-known that muscle burns fat, and weight lifting will not make a woman get "huge". Take advantage of all those free weights have to offer, and start your New Year off with a bang. Features:

Blessings and Happy New Year! With this new website, I have decided to make my tutorials on PDF documents and then upload here. By the way, if you haven't checked Weebly out it is truly amazing. Heres just a few reasons:
I started getting frustrated with Wordpress because photos wouldn't show up on the final post, they would be upside down, it was difficult to format things how I like, etc. But otherwise, I was a fan! Weebly's purpose is to be user friendly, and they surely have succeeded. Anyways, I have seen so many PDF tutorials over the past year that have adorable icons and images and I think it intimidated me! That's probably why I haven't made any tutorials via PDF yet...but I finally decided to google "how to make my own printables". This directed me towards a variety of blogs that had posted on this exact subject, and its these little "printables" that will make my tutorials great. Or I hope you think so. Almost every link actually linked back to this post from The SITS Girl. They provide a tutorial on how to use PicMonkey to make these printables. They also have tutorials on Microsoft Word and Photoshop. I've been playing around with PicMonkey and its amazing what it can do! There's so many options for text, clipart, frames, and effects - you could do anything! I'm excited to get started. That's my cue to sign off.
